Does this team use practice time focused solely on making TikTok videos and counting NIL money?

The sloppiness and carelessness with the ball drives me crazy.
This team doesnt do nothing but look pretty, and coach nicki has lost her fire, bc if last years team played like this she wouls have lit a fire under them, but it seems that with this team she is scared to scare them, or rough them up and i feel like that is exactly what this team is missing have that toughness and a dog mentality.
Good coaching builds an offense around their talent.
This coach refuses and demands her failed WNBA tactics

I've been saying this for three seasons and people have acted like I'm the most critical person on the planet. She has never adapted to her personnel.
Should've hired Molly Miller. Of course we should've hired Joey Maguire. Common denominator- Mack!
“Life is short, eat desert first!”
I'll be curious to hear what type of basketball verbiage she uses to sound extremely educated and justify the way the team played and she prepared them. She has a tendency to speak smart during a post game press conference, which makes you trust her process when in fact, it appears she has none.
Coach has no big … next year we will have 6.4 that can play . Our big can't shoot , can't catch pass , can't dribble , can't rebound unless ball falls in her hands , she's no threat in the paint on the offense….. so teams can defend further out . Story of 2026 . Better days are ahead..

The posts aren't great but blaming them for the loss is lunacy.
Period. End sentence.
We are graduating four starters. You can stop the Hope on the Horizon speech. We are in for a major rebuild. And expecting top recruits to honor commitments to a falling program is foolish.

What good will that do?
CNC could have Brittney Griner and we'd still find ways to lose the games that matter.
We didn't lose in heartbreaker fashion tonight.
We were waxed by a team that likely won't make the 2nd weekend of the tournament.
At some point, folks need to open their eyes and come to the realization that CNC ain't it.

What is it about her past that would make you say that? As a freshman she averaged 3.2 ppg. As a sophomore she averaged 3.3 ppg. Geez, Abraham scored 8 points tonight in only 12 minutes. Better days ahead ????

To be fair, 6 of those 8 points were basically in garbage time, when we were down around 20 points (late 3rd and in the 4th).
Looked good on the stat sheet, but didn't impact the game much.
I'm not going to come for CNCs job. That said, at the end of this season we'll learn just how important this program is to the AD and overall athletic department. Things have gotten embarrassing. If I'm a student athlete, I wouldn't even take a call from a Baylor coach right now.
Thant may have been the worse played game all year. Was it the long flight to Florida and then another long flight to Lubbock that made the team so sluggish. ?

I think you're trying to make sense of a program on a rapid decline. If we lose by 30 but play with heart, seem prepared, but are ultimately outmanned - I get it. That was the Texas game. If you lose by 30 and appear lost, lazy, and without much of a care - that is broader issue. We can always have the "better days ahead" and "one off game happens" mentality, but tonight was unacceptable. These aren't elementary school players. And in the world of NIL, they can't use a 2 1/2 hour flight as an excuse. I traveled further in middle school for a baseball tournament. These ladies are undisciplined, and are often unprepared. I've seen high school teams that would wipe the floor against the product that Baylor put on the court tonight. CNC should be appalled.
As a teacher, if my students were continually failing a concept, I would reteach, reteach, reteach. If that didn't work, I would find a different way to help my students succeed. CNC is not doing that. She appears to not even reteach. We have the talent. We just need to be taught how to master the lesson.
Well said
Hindsight is 20/20, but what if all that money had been spent on NIL instead of a fancy new arena that we really didn't need? We didn't have the money to fire Aranda, now no funds to get rid of Collen. We're real estate rich and cash broke. Mack Rhoades is witnessing the rotten legacy he built.

False equivalency.
Assuming the same people would give the same money for NIL (as opposed to a building with their name on it) has zero basis in fact.
BTW, Ferrell sucked for watching games. It was mostly a half empty morgue. Great place for students getting better seats. Bad place for home court advantage.
On the other hand Rhoades should be pilloried at every turn.

I hear what you are saying, but I would guess your numbers are off a bit. Demographics have a big say in one's opinion. The under 55 crowd probably votes for the new gym. On the other hand the geriatric age group hates it.
Steep angles and narrow seating makes it tough on seniors. I know many that attended WBB in the old arena who no longer attend due to the tight quarters and steep incline seating. Women's attendance is far down, but the arena access for seniors plays as much as the loss of coach Mulkey.
Some day you'll be a senior and understand.
For seniors the number one fear is falling…
Foster enhances that fear.

THIS.
Unless you're in the lower level main seats, the new arena leaves a lot to be desired (outside of the cool video boards).
From the cramped seats behind each goal - to the treacherous upper deck - the new arena as a whole just isn't all that impressive, imo.
The Ferrell Center had comfortable seating no matter where you sat.
Look, I don't need the place to be a madhouse like Cameron Indoor. Just need to be comfortable and have an enjoyable experience watching the game.
In the old arena, many folks had no quarrels with walking up to the arena on gameday and getting tickets wherever there were open seats.
And the place could still get loud for the big games, especially when we were winning (I remember how loud it got during several of those UCONN battles).
But where one has to sit nowadays plays as much of a role in determining whether it's even worth going to the game, for many.
The upper deck is an absolute disaster waiting to happen.
I mean, did they even get around to putting bathrooms up there?
McLane is incredible. Even when we are having mediocre seasons, I'm always impressed by its beauty and the gameday experience.
Foster? Not so much.
Nope... no restrooms

I don't think students and young alumni realize the difficult access that Foster creates for older fans.
We have season tickets for WBB this season. It will probably be our last.
Not for won/loss records, but because of stadium dangers to access.
